Discuss – 9 ideas to help young drivers reach Formula One

Along with the introduction of new Super Licence conditions, the FIA has announced plans to revive Formula Two to help create a clearer path into Formula One for young drivers. A more structured way to reach F1 via F4, F3 and F2 is a great idea when you consider how well similar feeder systems work for other championships (like MotoGP, NASCAR & IndyCar).

However, if the FIA wants to create a clear and effective path into Formula One, there are some other steps worth taking before looking at things like Super Licences.

Here are nine ideas that could potentially help the FIA build a strong feeder system:

I think these are great ideas Martin! The ideas suggested create a clear and easy to understand feeder system. I think some casual fans wonder why GP2 is not called F2 and the same for GP3 and F3.

I actually think your ideas also create a real entertainment aspect too with the close scheduling of the races, all in the right order that will engage more fans around the world who can track the progress of the drivers in each series.

The incentives for the teams to take on a driver from the series below and the financial reward for the series winners are superb and should seriously be looked at by the FIA.
